Ten-minute preview for Genji: Days of the Blade

Posted Nov 29, 2006 at 5:41PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3 Tags: Game Republic, North America

And here we go with the prettiness which is Genji: Days of the Blade. Developed by Game Republic for the PlayStation 3, this title was just released in North America this month, but is yet to see its Japanese debut which won't be until December 31.

Loosely based on The Tale of the Heike, Days of the Blade takes place three years after its predecessor, and once again, Yoshitsune and Benkei find themselves up against the newly-restored Heishi army. The party of heroes gets a boost though, as this time around, they are joined by Shizuka and Buson in fending off the opposition's unholy magic and soldiers who turn into demons.

So for those who are wondering if this title would be worth picking up from the store, here's a video which shows the first ten minutes of the game. Hopefully, this would give players an idea if Genji is their cup of tea.

# whys the rating so low for this game — Guest 2006-11-29 13:24

idk how the gameplay feels but it seemed pretty solid to me and plus the graphics were also pretty damn good

# . — Guest 2006-11-29 13:48

it got a low rating because of the camera angles i believe

# It got a low rating — CSFFlame 2006-11-29 14:00

because it's not fun other than as a hack and slash...

# It's not that horrible — Spector 2006-11-29 14:41

Most action games are hack and slash for the most part first all. Secondly this game is underrated I'd say after playing it. If action is your genre this will be right up your alley, and if you liked the first one you'll love the second one.

# could you clarify a point? — Guest 2006-11-29 15:50

"... this title was just released in North America this month, but is yet to see its Japanese debut which won't be until December 31. "

What's with this line? The Genji I see is located in every PS3 game section in Japan since launch. Is this a different Genji or is the news mistaken?

If you love Onimusha styled games, Genji you will love. These type of games never get any good rating so don't worry bout what those damn reviewers say. Famistu a Japanese company gave it a pretty decent score, so if you into this genre this game is for you. I loved the first, so i'll be getting this one. By the way, how come the Japanese version is not out yet? you'd think they fix some issues with the game?

# WRONG!!!! — Guest 2006-11-29 18:16

Genji was released in Japan on the 11th of November, in fact the PS3 and the copy of Genji you see being played on xboxyde was bought by me I then shipped it to BlimBlim at Xboxyde.

# yup very wrong — xche78x 2006-11-29 22:37

this is a Launch title. Released on November 11, 2006 here in japan. I have it and regret it. I didnt read any reviews before buying so i end up with a 4/10 rated game geesh. yeah camera is very dissappointing. not worth to buy. nice to rent though.

Devil May Cry 4 looks funner, anyways.
